So, I am not a terribly avid poster here on the forums, but i check it every day, mostly all day. And I would say, after discovering my first MMO, FFXI. I was in love. the huge worlds, all the new content, a world where I love learn to love or hate my characters. So many hours of my life given to them But I think I think its time to say goodbye for awhile. My resolution this year. No games for all of 2009. I have always wondered what I would do with those hundreds of hours I spent adventuring around some god forsaken land and now I am going to find out. I probably wont check this again, as I dont want to tempt myself. But I wondered if anyone had any similar plans or ever felt that way. Regardless, happy new years everyone.
cheers! |

If I had known how shitty 2008 was going to be, I would have done the same thing last year. |

Don't scare me like that! "There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit." — John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman |

Well thank you for this very great information. Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your life. How was your morning dump? or maybe What did you eat for breakfast? That's crazy, how is there anything else to do but play video games? Are you including consoles too? and you said games...so does that also include Board games? or games such as drinking games? Really not playing any games for a WHOLE YEAR would be the most dull life ever! |

Don't be a jerk. To each their own. "There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began.

Also remember not to mention your new years resolution before new years! Seriously though I think its a good move. I have a couple of mates who have lost the last 3 years of their life and even when I try and catch up on the phone they fking tell me to get on vent so they can keep playing. WTF are people thinking when they cant spend 20 minutes chatting to their mates? I have a managerial position, pregnant wife and a bunch of hobbies so MMO's are essential for my sanity. Best way to zone out. Just a thought, maybe you should have a second resolution and that is to book some courses? I took up drums and piano a while back and got hooked, can pour a ton of hours into an instrument or whatever. Either that or get yourself a nymphomaniac. |

To the OP, you'll be back. Perhaps you'll end up like me and just start cutting the hours you spend playing these games wayyy back, but you will come back for a taste at some point in 2009 ;) I was disappointed this year as well. AoC :( really could have been so much better. As it was i spent a lot of time on it, and maxed out my characters fairly quickly. Everyone packed up and left though, so that was that. It was a terrible community anyway. People have spoken about it before, but I dont think ive seen as much venom in 6 or 7 years of playing these games. Anywayz thats off topic. Good luck with whatever you do in 2009, and happy new year! |

I can only forsee this renforcing your desire of games after this is over. Really, my signature below my avatar says it all. MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit. |

In a similar position to yourself in a way although i've already done what your planning to do. For last 3 years I've spent literally thousands of hours playing MMOs, however at the begining of July I just simply stopped. I was planing on playing WAR and mabye even re-installing wow and checking out the new expansion but after playing AoC from release for 6 weeks I think I lost faith in playing MMOs from release. Over the last couple months I've found that even if you do a lot of stuff outside the game world for example I started going to the gym 3-4 times a week for a couple hours, also turned 18 so was going out drinking/clubbing, doing things with my friends a lot more I still find that theres a lot of hours spent in my flat waiting for something to happen which I will either spend mindlessly watching crap on TV, having some inane chat with my flatmates or just sitting in silence trying to think of what I could do for the next hour or so. As a couple other people were saying you might find that your going to be pretty bored with no games for a year unless you have a lot of stuff planned that you want to do with your life. |
